Through a Garden Darkly


I have a weakness for photographing roses, but my photographs were all coming out rather samey and, honestly, a little bit boring. By speeding up the shutter it all became darker and more interesting. It seemed a suitable treatment for the last rose of autumn.

Woken this morning by the first storm of the year, I’m glad I managed to capture those last lingering coat free days before winter!

  1. It's funny that we can even get a little bored with our own photos. It's a challenge to get more creative. I think you've succeeded!

  2. I like the moodiness of the dark backgrounds. It seems apropos for the coming of winter.

  4. I, too, like the effect of the dark background for the last blooms and rosehips of the autumn. My roses have produced their final blooms, too.

  5. Glorious photos - the dark background really brings out the flowers.
